The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"The court sends someone to supervise." Li Shimin repeated: "It is also a solution. Pei Qing, if the court sends someone, who do you think should be sent?"

"This..." Pei Ju was silent. Although the proposed method is feasible, he really has no idea who to send.

In fact, if this matter is under the Ministry of Revenue, it is also appropriate.

After all, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the money and grain of the world.

In the final analysis, this matter is also caused by money.

It is understandable that the Ministry of Revenue is involved.

But if it is proposed now, whether it is appropriate or not must be carefully considered.

When everyone in the court heard Pei Ju's words, they also felt that it was not bad to do so. If the court sent someone to supervise, no one could come up with other reasons and excuses.

Otherwise, is it possible to say that even the people sent by the court to supervise are in cahoots with the corrupt?

Although, but.

"Your Majesty, I think what Minister Pei said makes sense, but we should discuss who to send."

"Yes, otherwise, this huge sum of money will be handled by many people, and it will be a problem if it is not clear in the middle."

Many officials in the court agreed with Pei Ju's words.

As long as they send people from the court to watch over it, they will feel relieved.

"Last year, the court laid off a group of redundant staff."

Li Shimin, who was sitting at the top, spoke.

"Now the court officials have their own duties. If we suddenly need to send someone to supervise, the first problem is the selection of people. Secondly, where to transfer officials is also a problem. Finally, and most importantly, the donations and charities, such things, at present, after this time is over, then how will the officials who are specifically responsible for supervision be placed in the court in the future, and the donations will be allocated to the people? There are many complicated things. If we just transfer officials from the original positions to supervise and do things, then how should their original affairs be balanced?"

"Court, is it possible to do this for this matter? If there are more positions, do we need to set up special positions to recruit people? Then, do the court need to pay salaries and treatment for the extra positions? If so, where will the treatment of officials come from? "

"This is a good thing in itself, a good deed. People outside are kind-hearted. Those with money contribute money and those with strength contribute labor. The court sends officials to supervise. Is it to contribute money or labor? Or is it simply to do good deeds and accumulate virtue?"

"If additional positions are added, the burden brought to the court will violate the so-called kindness."

Li Shimin's eyes swept over the ministers.

At this time, Du Ruhui stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate for the court to send officials to supervise."

"Speak about it." Li Shimin raised his hand to indicate.

"This matter has nothing to do with the court." Du Ruhui said: "To put it bluntly, this is the behavior of the Jingyang Palace outside, and it has nothing to do with the court. No matter how much the auction earns in the end, it has nothing to do with the court. The court did not provide people, things, venues, or people to help hold any auctions. Now, you are in the court and start thinking about how to deal with the proceeds from the auction. Is this something that court officials should think about?"

"Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

Although Du Ruhui said this, even Li Shimin was included, but this is not important.

The important thing is that it pointed out everyone's thoughts.

This is money that you should not worry about, but you are all here to start calculating it.

Thinking about other people's money, so enthusiastic.

This is what many officials should do when they get together in the court?

"Your Majesty, I agree with Du Shangshu's point of view." Wei Zheng also stood up: "It is really too shameless to think about how to use the money in other people's hands."

"Wei Zheng! You!"

Hearing Wei Zheng say this, some people were immediately angry.

"May I ask everyone present, when the drought in Guanzhong occurred, did anyone open a porridge stall outside to help the people?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Of course there were."

"Take it, then I want to ask, since you opened a porridge stall and helped the people, how can you guarantee that the food you took out was given to the people, and the porridge in the pot went into the people's stomachs?" Wei Zheng asked back.

"This! This is obvious to all, why do you need to prove it?"

"That's right, and we took out our own food to do good deeds and make porridge for the people to fill their stomachs..."

As he spoke, he felt something was wrong and shut up.

"Isn't this the same principle?" Wei Zheng spread his hands and said, "How can you guarantee that the food you take out of your warehouse to help the people will not be secretly hidden by someone with ulterior motives, or even sold at a high price?"

"It's a matter of mutual consent.How come the things that are desired are made to seem like they must be done. "

"It is because the King of Jingyang has been making a lot of money under this name." Someone stood up to refute.

"Two years ago, there was an auction in Chang'an City. Even if it was not called this, would there be few people going?" Wei Zheng asked back: "How many of you present did not go?"

"This auction has more items than the last one, and it is more attractive. Even if it was not called this, would you not go? "

Wei Zheng's words stunned everyone present.

Who doesn't have curiosity? Who doesn't want to watch the fun?

Even if it costs money, what's this little money?

Wei Zheng is annoying, and all the officials in the court have determined it.

Because others keep the truth in their hearts, everyone thinks so and knows it tacitly.

This guy just has to tell the truth in the court, in public, and point out all the filth hidden in people's hearts.

As everyone knows, the truth is not pleasant to hear.

Just say how annoying this person is.

"Take the industries under the Jingyang Palace as an example. Would he ruin his reputation for the money he got from the auction?" Wei Zheng asked: "If it were you, would you be able to tell which is more important?"

"Yes." Changsun Wuji also stood up: "Everyone, don't forget how the grain from the south to Guanzhong came this year, and how the grain in the treasury was replenished. "

"If you say it's a good deed, in fact, the King of Jingyang is already doing it. He shouldn't use this name to ruin his own reputation and the reputation of the King of Jingyang's Mansion and make a lot of money."

Everyone fell silent.

Since you all know it in your heart, what are you still discussing?

If you have anything to say, just say it directly.

The officials who were jumping for joy just now also reacted.

I was jumping for nothing.

"This is it." Li Shimin said: "I have a compromise here, you all listen to it. "
